Dark Gnome vs Darkest Dungeon
Dark Gnome
Dark Gnome is a fun, pixel-style 2D fantasy RPG that's fresh from the oven from Upjers. Currently available for players who know how to read German, the game will have you set up your ultimate team of warriors and send them to battle various creatures in the game's many dungeon-like locations for amazing loot. You can recruit new heroes from the tavern and equip them with the best gear you have. You can even help injured warriors recover by sending them over to the only medical tent in town.The old-school-styled combat system in this game, on the other hand, is mainly turn-based and allows you to choose which action to take, be it to attack or to stand your ground.
Dark Gnome is a game that gives off a strong 2D dungeon crawler vibe which, I believe many players would probably enjoy. The game is currently in its Open Beta phase and once it is officially released, hopefully, Upjers will provide an English version for their global players.
Darkest Dungeon
Darkest Dungeon is a hardcore turn-based dungeon crawler with a rather unique gothic theme that explores the psychological stresses of adventuring as well as a beautiful, comic-like art style. Play through the more realistic (not glorified) life of an adventurer as you will not only fight challenging and devious enemies, but also face a host of problems that most adventure RPGs simply turn a blind eye to such as the stress and other mental of the day-to-day of an adventurer, famine, disease and of course, the dark feeling that arose when whatever you do doesn't really seem to matter.The game is pretty much story-driven (as you might ahve expected), but it does also feature a rather innovative turn-based combat as well as over 16 different hero classes for you to play as and recruit to your party. As mentioned, the game's a hardcore game as well - this means permadeath, procedural dungeons and practically endless replay value!
If you think you'd enjoy a more narrative-driven dungeon crawler that's very different from all the other similar games you might have played, Darkest Dungeon is definitely a game you'll want to get.
